Saddled Rockclimbing Goby - (Sicyopterus lividus) 7cm-10cm

Description

Scientific Name: Sicyopterus lividus
Common Name: Saddled Rockclimbing Goby 

Overview

Sicyopterus lividus is a small amphidromous goby native to the islands of Micronesia, including Pohnpei (Ponape). It inhabits fast-flowing streams where it grazes on algae and biofilm growing on rocks. 

Size

  • Maximum length: approximately 6 cm (2.4 inches) standard length. 

Aquarium Care

For long-term success, provide:

  • Strong water movement and high oxygenation
  • Rounded stones and rockwork for grazing
  • Mature biofilm and algae growth
  • Clean, well-filtered water
  • A secure lid, as gobies can climb and jump

These gobies are primarily aufwuchs grazers, feeding on algae, diatoms, and microorganisms from surfaces. Supplemental foods may include spirulina-based foods and finely crushed vegetable-based diets. 

Water Parameters

Recommended aquarium conditions:

  • Temperature: 22-28°C (72-82°F)
  • pH: 6.5-7.8
  • Moderate to strong current
  • High dissolved oxygen

Sicyopterus lividus (Saddled Rockclimbing Goby) is a fascinating algae-grazing goby from the fast-flowing streams of Micronesia. This peaceful species thrives in highly oxygenated aquariums with strong current, smooth rocks, and abundant biofilm. An excellent choice for specialized river-style aquariums, these unique gobies spend their days grazing algae and perching on stones. Adult size reaches approximately 6 cm (2.4").
